One 16-year-old’s future plans changed after watching a documentary. Sydney Tinker, a junior at Patrick Henry High School, watched the film “Girls Rising,” which shares the story of several young girls in impoverished countries and how they overcome the struggles of their daily lives.

For as long as the unit has existed, Lt. Wayne Pugh has worked as one of the Hanover Sheriff’s Office’s reserve deputies, who serve the department just as a career officer would. He said he was one of the first five officers when the department first started the reserves program in 1979.
